Biochemistry

Profession

The activity of a specialist in the biological sciences is complex and multifaceted. This profession requires knowledge of microbiology, botany, plant physiology, medical and physiological chemistry. Specialists in the field of biochemistry are also engaged in research on theoretical and applied biology, medicine. The results of their work are important in the field of technical and industrial biology, vitaminology, histochemistry and genetics, in educational institutions, medical centers, at biological production enterprises, in agriculture and other spheres.
